Multiple modes per station is the best way to improve activity IMHO. Thanks
for submitting this proposal; the details can be debated but the main thrust of
allowing multiple modes is key. Sticking with VHF tradition doesn't make sense
when traditional VHF contesting has been blown up by overuse of WSJT.

I have a long standing proposal before the ARRL Contest Advisory
Committee (CAC) for THREE contacts per station - CW, VOICE(ssb, am, fm),
ANY DIGITAL - on 6m and 2m, and TWO contacts per station - ANALOG,
DIGITAL - on the higher bands.
The reasons for the distinction are explained in the proposal which is
copied in full below.
The committee did change ENTRY Categories.
Changing the entry categories is fine, similar to CW, SSB, or MIXED
categories in various other contests.
Combining the new entry categories and multiple contacts per station is,
in my view, the future of VHF contesting.
[I did not address entry categories, nor Rover / Portable issues, as I
wanted to concentrate on rule changes to increase ACTIVITY.]
My proposal alone will not accomplish much.
Write the CAC if you agree (write even if you disagree).
